A friend and I were chatting and I was saying how mom used to roll her eyes at me as I jumped into every mud puddle along our walk after a good rain in my brand new shoes as a child. I, then, had to admit that my sons would roll their eyes at me everytime they saw me doing the same thing! Yes, I still shuffle my feet through a mud puddle as I walk the dogs.. with an impish smile and not caring who sees me.
Life is a mud puddle.. daring us to leap into it.. and as silly as we might feel, can't help but smile when we do it. As we become adults, we must put away childish things. BUT we do not have to put away the child within us.. nor some of the simple things that we enjoyed as kids. To do so, one will grow old before their time, lose the reality of what is truly important in life.. and merely existing. I will never get to that point of finding life boring! There are just way too many mud puddles to conquer!
